Title: New Ipod Video-questions!
Post by: brainsoup on October 15, 2006, 12:01:35 pm: Well... I decided to treat myself this weekend and buy myself a new 80Gb Ipod Video! It's very shiny and doing its job well... and it's made friends nicely with MC12!

Just a few questions that I couldn't find the answer to but I'm sure someone can answer them for me...

1) How on earth do you get video's into the correct folders. I'm converting them fine in Videora but i cant get my music vids to show up in the music videos folder (haven't done any TV Shows yet but will do soon).

2) I seem to remember reading that ratings were transferred back to MC along with play counts but i'm only seeing play counts coming back :(

3) Can you group all the compilations together? There's an option in my iPod but cant find the correct tag in MC

Thats all for now... I'm sure there will be more as i discover more about this wonderful beast! Loving it over my Zen... best move I've made in ages!!! Buying some nice speaker/dock type things soon... *drool* ;)

Thanks

Chris

1) There is a specific tag for a music video, TV, etc. in the iPod database that we need to set in order for the iPod to see it as such. The problem is MC doesn't make this distinction - we will have to add a field like VIDEO_TYPE to the MC database in order to handle this correctly.

2) The new iPod video may do handling ratings differently - we'll have to do some digging to resolve this.

3) We haven't implemented compilations for the iPod yet.

Regards,
Rick

We really have no control over what iTunes does when it manages the iPod.

Does this mean that it if I add that field then I can set the type of video it is? Or is this something that is going to happen soon?

After i had uploaded my new 30gb ipod with all my music collection ( why didn't I buy 60GB?! ) and had connected this small black thing to the itunes in order to sync contacts and calendar --> itunes started with : " updating library on"IPOD" "--> and then all my cover art disapperar from ipod. Podcasts that i imported using MC disappeared too.

I am using MC 12.0.107
Thanks for any advice.
